My favorite moment? Throughout the parade every member of the Sox organization was celebrating and cheering. David Ross? He continuously thanked the fans…pointing in gratitude. I loved it. He seemed so proud to be a member of the team and appreciative of every one of us standing there. {Or I’m just a sap.}

A little intermission entertainment brought to you by Dropkick Murphy’s. Don’t hate that. One bit.

…and the crowd started chanting Laaaaackey. Laaaaaackey. Laaaaackey.

It was awesome.

Then it was followed by a ….. red boot.

{I felt it necessary to take it’s picture.}

The NESN boat was quite the hit. I got a lot of other pictures that were much better…but Dennis Eckersley was giving my mom the “thumbs up” in this one. Priorities, people.

Lester! {…in Peavy’s new boat.}

I love Aruba. Xander Bogaerts is from there. That means he’s one of my favorites. {Guilty by association I guess?}

Woo!

Throughout the entire parade I mentioned that Ortiz would probably be last. I mean, c’mon…MVP? Save the best for last?

His boat came rollin’ in.

Yay!

Ugh…wait. Is that a WWE belt? I don’t see Ortiz.

I am going to cry.

…and then I heard the fog machines revvin’ up and the confetti blasting in the air.

Of course he would be hosting his own party on a flatbed.

I should’ve expected nothing less.

It was a great morning and worth every moment deprived of coffee.

I am so proud to be from New England and a Boston fan through and through.
